DANCE: embracing the cosmic now

Dance, when you’re broken open.

Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off.

Dance in the middle of the fighting.

Dance in your blood.

Dance when you’re perfectly free.

In the vast expanse of time, there is a profound stillness that precedes every creation. Stars are born from dust and galaxies spin in silent harmony. From this stillness, dance emerges – a fleeting and yet powerful expression of life itself. Arising from nothingness, it exists in the here and now, and then gently dissolves back into the void, leaving behind beautiful echoes of its presence.

Ephemeral yet powerful, dance exists in the space between breaths. Movements are transient, flowing alongside each note of music evoking a moment of pure expression. The body dancing without any considerations of past and present becomes an authentic expression of our identity in this moment. When we expose our hearts to these experiences it is possible to extract new and magical possibilities for life.

When we dance, we are not just moving our bodies; we are participating in a cosmic ritual of the existential expression of life itself. By embracing the ephemeral, we live fully in the now, celebrating our very existence free from tired shackles that often surround our joy. In the very moment we surrender allowing our dances to emerge, we connect to the sacredness that is our cosmic journey.
